Amanda, baby-sitting - V2P Chilliwack central

Dear sir or madam,

As a frequent child supervisor, I am always appreciative of the chance to improve my skills with children. When searching for jobs recently, I was informed that a babysitting/part-time care position is currently available. Although I am a high school student, I have a very flexible summer schedule and am available to work up to 50 hours a week. I believe that my cheerful demeanor, my excellent work ethic, and my love for children and learning will make me a great asset to your family.

As you will see from my enclosed résumé, I have 1 ½ years of very self-driven, self-motivated work at Central Community Church as a Children’s Ministry Assistant. During this time, I have learned many invaluable communication, efficiency, and other children skills that would make me invaluable to both you and your children. I am also hardworking and a quick learner, eager to correctly do my job.

I have consistently maintained a professional and helpful attitude when dealing with the many children and parents at Central, and hence have received multiple compliments about my consistent sunny behaviour and helpful gestures. I am also the youngest staff member at Central Community Church – by fourteen years – proving how much trust I have been assigned despite my young age.

Thank you for taking the time to review my résumé. I look forward to speaking with you soon about how I can contribute to the energetic and exciting environment of your home.

Yours sincerely,

Amanda
